DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY Kadesch. Hersey, Anderson, Read Begeman, Getchell L. BEGEMAN, Ph. D. CHeadJ R. VV. GETcHeLL, M. S. , W. H. KADESCH, Ph. D. O. B. READ, M. A. S. F. HERSEY, Ph. B. A. K. ANDERSON The Work in physics serves as follows: There are two sub-collegiate courses which provide for college entrance requirements and teachers' examinations. The general college gives preparation for High School teaching of physics. There .are also certain special courses-for Primary and Junior College studentsg for Physical Training stu- dentsg for Home Economics studentsg and for students of lVIusic. The courses in chemistry serve-two principal classes of students: the one class selects chemistry for teacher training and the other for further scientific and professional study. The equipment is of the best and is very complete. The departmental library is very extensive and ideal conditions for experimental Work are maintained. The seminar is largely attended. A number of chemists and professors of chemistry have received their training at T. C. and in the fall three more will Hnish and enter uni- versities for graduate work. The .department will hereafter offer a combined major consisting of fifteen hours of college physics and fifteen hours of chemistry, which is strongly recommended to stu- dents desiring to be teachers 'of these subjects in the High School. Teachers of chem- istry and physics in the better High Schools get the best salaries. Page Thirly one

GENEICE HoLL1s, B. A. The Department of Physical Education with its three branches of service, namely, the Student Health Service, Physical Education for lVIen, and Physical Education for Women, has for its separate functions the maintenance and advancement of the phys- ical welfare of the college students, the providing of recreational activities, and the preparation of teachers to meet their responsibility for the health welfare of children and their need for bodily exercise. This latter is done in a general way for all stu- dents in their required physical education courses and, in a special way, by the admin- istration of a curriculum intended to prepare special teachers of Physical Education and by the offering of Coaches Training Courses. The men's department has ad- vanced greatly the past year in this respect, also a few new courses have been added, as wrestling and boxing, to extend the types of work available to rnen. The women's department has for many years offered a broad curriculum. The department purposes to carry forward its aims with its best efforts, believing that a nation's real resource- fulness lies in the underlying physical well being of its every citizen and that the child of to-day must, by the help of the school, build now for the citizen of America's future. - Page Thirty

As an enterprise, mathematics is characterized by its aim, and its aim is to think rigor- ously Whatever is rigorously thinl-:able in the course of the upward striving and refining evolution of ideas. As a body of achievement, mathematics consists of all the results that have come, in the course of the centuries, from the prosecution of that enterpriseg the truth discov- ered by itg the doctrines created by it, the influence of these, through their applications and their beauty, upon the advancement of civilization and the iveal of manf' Dr. CASSIUS IiEYSER, Columbizz U7ziver.viZy.
